Try SketchMason freeHow visily approaches the job
Visily documents a Figma plugin for transferring designs to Figma for further refinement. That handoff is a meaningful consideration for teams whose next step is editing a design in Figma.
How SketchMason approaches the job
Draw labelled regions on a canvas, or drop in a photo of a sketch on paper, add a mood board and generate a UI design beside the sketch. Refine the result and develop related screens with the same visual direction. Export the design as HTML or a written brief.
Which workflow fits your next step?
Choose Visily when its documented Figma transfer fits your team. Consider SketchMason when your immediate goal is to develop a layout from labelled boxes and export a standalone HTML design or written brief.

Frequently asked questions
- Does SketchMason have the same Figma transfer workflow?
- No. SketchMason exports HTML and written briefs. A Figma handoff currently requires a manual rebuild; Visily documents a dedicated Figma plugin.
- What should I compare before choosing?
- Try the same small screen in both tools. Compare how you supply the layout, revise the result and hand it to the next person. Check current product documentation for plan limits.
- Can I try SketchMason in the browser?
- Yes. Make a free account and you are on the canvas: it comes with two generations and asks for no card.
